Biography
Skula Sihtricsson was born in 845 to an impoverished nobleman from a declining family of influence. By then, the estates were gone and only the house in which he lived remained as a possession. However, despite their hardships, Skula's parents gave him a good education, preparing him from childhood for the chance to become a companion to royalty. He had a small portion of land and a few peasants, but he was forced to work alongside the peasants to tend to his farms.
